The Zone Weight Loss Diet

What Is The Zone Diet

One of the most famous weight loss diets,
the Zone diet is a 40-30-30 weight loss diet plan, meaning it comprises:
40 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent fat, and 30 percent protein.

What You Eat on Zone Diet

A little complicated to follow, in the
years since this plan came out, some have simplified the Zone calculation.
A small amount of protein at every meal and at every snack (one in the
late afternoon, one in the late evening) "Favorable" carbohydrates
twice the size of the protein portion - these include most vegetables
and lentils, beans, whole grains, and most fruits. A smaller amount of
carbohydrates if you have chosen "unfavorable" ones - these
include brown rice, pasta, papaya, mango, banana, dry breakfast cereal,
bread, bagel, tortilla, carrots, and all fruit juices.

How The Zone Diet Helps You Lose Weight

Entering the "Zone" entails a
significant reduction in calories for most people and this calorie reduction
is the cause of any weight loss, not the 40:30:30 nutrient split.

Weight Loss Diets
There's no such thing as a perfect weight loss diet. Almost all weight
loss diets help us lose weight and teach us something about healthy weight
control. But exercise is an important part of all weight loss programs,
so set aside enough time for an aerobic workout.
